Bryant’s mom wants case dropped, Associated Press reports

Angela Bryant, the mother of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant, wants the Class A misdemeanor family violence case against her son dismissed.

A Dallas County district attorney’s spokeswoman told the Associated Press on Monday that the case DeSoto police filed against Bryant includes an affidavit of non-prosecution from the alleged complainant, Angela Bryant. The affidavit means she doesn’t want the case to proceed, the spokeswoman said.

Prosecutors haven’t said whether they will pursue the case. Police in the Dallas suburb arrested Dez Bryant last week after a July 14 incident in which he allegedly struck his mother across the face with a baseball cap and also bruised her arms and wrists.
